To calculate the financial obligations of importers in the EU<\/strong> within the framework of <\/strong>the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism(CBAM<\/strong>), a key element is the value of the benchmarks<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These values determine what proportion of specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be covered by free allocation between 2026 and 2034. This, in turn, determines what proportion of the embedded CO\u2082 emissions importers must cover with CBAM certificates and how much the cost of import into the EU will increase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The role of benchmarks during the CBAM definitive period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The impact of the benchmarks will be particularly significant in the first year of the definitive period of the CBAM, in 2026<\/strong>, when the cancellation of free allowances from the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) will be 2.5% and the CBAM factor will be 97.5%. Thereafter, taking into account the gradual reduction of the CBAM factor, the impact of the CBAM benchmarks (and, consequently, the specific emissions covered by free allocation) on the amount of specific embedded emissions that will have to be paid for will decrease to zero in 2034. <\/strong>Then, certificates will have to be purchased for the total number of embedded emissions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A detailed description of the components of the formula for calculating the number of CBAM certificates (which authorised declarants will have to surrender for emissions embedded in imported goods) is presented in the publication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industry is pushing for the European Commission <\/strong>to publish these values. However, as of today<\/strong>, with less than three months left until the start of the CBAM definitive period<\/strong>, this has not yet been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Note introducing the benchmark model<\/strong><\/a> was published on the CBAMBOO platform<\/strong>. Let us consider the approaches that, according to this report, will be used <\/strong>to determine these benchmarks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
